Lawrence (right shoulder) won't play Sunday against the Panthers, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Lawrence set to miss the first regular-season game of his NFL career, C.J. Beathard will start at QB for the Jaguars on Sunday. Lawrence will now target a potential return to action Week 18 versus the Titans.

Lawrence (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Earlier Thursday, head coach Doug Pederson indicated that Lawrence was in line to see some work in individual drills, but the quarterback ultimately went down as a non-participant for the second straight day. Lawrence now has one more opportunity to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, but if he's unavailable this weekend, C.J. Beathard would be in line to start in his place.

Lawrence (shoulder) wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Doug Pederson noted earlier Thursday that Lawrence was in line to be limited to individual drills, but it remains to be seen how the team will list his official participation level. Per DiRocco, while Lawrence wasn't spotted during the initial portion of the session, it's possible that the QB could have been working indoors during that span and may still appear at practice.

Head coach Doug Pederson said he expects Lawrence (shoulder) to practice in some capacity Thursday, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per O'Brien, it's anticipated that Lawrence, at a minimum, will go through the individual portion of practice. The Jaguars will release their second Week 17 injury report later Thursday, when the extent of the quarterback's participation will be known. Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com previously reported that Lawrence -- who suffered a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder during the Jaguars' Week 16 loss to the Buccaneers -- doesn't plan to do much throwing ahead of Sunday's contest against the Panthers. If Lawrence is forced to miss the first game of this career this weekend, C.J. Beathard would be in line to serve as Jacksonville's starting quarterback.

Lawrence (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday and isn't expected to do much throwing this week, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Lawrence still hopes to play against the Panthers on Sunday, his plan for the week of practice will be more about rest and less about testing his injured shoulder. Lawrence's status could come down to a game-day decision as a result, though he acknowledged Wednesday that he's "still pretty sore" and "kind of working through the beginning stages" of his recovery from an AC joint sprain. C.J. Beathard replaced Lawrence at quarterback this past Sunday after the latter injured his throwing shoulder late in the third quarter of a 30-12 loss to Tampa Bay. Lawrence attended Wednesday's practice while donning shorts and a hoodie as Beathard worked as the first quarterback through drills.

Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson confirmed Tuesday that Lawrence's right shoulder injury is an AC joint sprain, while noting that the quarterback is "progressing" but uncertain to be available for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

In addition to not making any promises about Lawrence playing Sunday, Pederson was also unsure about the signal-caller being able to practice Wednesday in any fashion. According to Mark Long of the Associated Press, Pederson added that Lawrence is still dealing with soreness after exiting this past Sunday's 30-12 loss to the Buccaneers with the injury, so the Jaguars may be inclined to hold off on having the quarterback practice until more of the pain subsides. C.J. Beathard would be in line for the Week 17 start if Lawrence can't go, while the Jaguars signed Matt Barkley off the Giants' practice squad Tuesday to provide added depth to the position group.

Lawrence has been diagnosed with a sprained right shoulder following Sunday's 30-12 loss at Tampa Bay, but it's unclear if he's in danger of missing any time, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence has played through a variety of injuries this season, including a sprained knee, a high-ankle sprain and a concussion. The current concern isn't believed to be a major one, but his status will be watched as the week goes on to get a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday against the Panthers. C.J. Beathard has stepped in for Lawrence when the latter has left the field in 2023.

Lawrence is expected to undergo an MRI on Monday, but the Jaguars' initial belief is that the right shoulder injury he suffered in Sunday's 30-12 loss to the Buccaneers is not significant, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The quarterback was listed as questionable ahead of the Week 16 contest due to a high-ankle sprain he's been playing through and then a concussion, but he cleared the five-step protocol Saturday and was given the green light to play. Lawrence's rough month continued in the third quarter Sunday, as he hurt his throwing shoulder while attempting to stretch and dive for a first down. He stayed in the game and finished out the possession with an 18-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Ridley, but Lawrence gave way to backup C.J. Beathard afterward. The MRI should provide an indication of whether the shoulder issue might prevent him from playing next Sunday against Carolina, but the early hope is that the franchise signal-caller won't need to miss a start for the first time in his career. Even after losing their last four games, the 8-7 Jaguars still sit atop the AFC South standings over the 8-7 Texans and 8-7 Colts via tiebreakers, so look for Lawrence to do everything in his power to suit up in Week 17.

Lawrence will undergo tests on his injured right shoulder Monday, Juston Lewis of The Florida Times-Union reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence was forced to leave Sunday's contest early, and it sounds like the full extent of his injury will not be known for a while longer. C.J. Beathard replaced Lawrence on Sunday and would be in line to take over if Lawrence is forced to miss any further time.

Lawrence was forced out of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with a shoulder injury.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to his departure from the contest, Lawrence -- who won't return to action Sunday -- had completed 17 of 29 passing attempts for 211 yards with a TD and two picks while adding four carries for 29 yards. In his absence, C.J. Beathard is in at quarterback for the Jaguars.
